Fall is in the air

Hard to really believe Fall is in the air considering today is 86 and muggy. But before we know it the crisp chill of September will be upon us, causing us to hunt down our jackets & scarfs from the closet. 
Bye Bye sandals and Rose, hello boots and hot cocoa.




Fall happens to be my favorite season. I love when the temperature is just cool enough that you have to wear a light jacket or scarf, but not so cold that you have to bundle. 
The leaves changing color, the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin candles burning, making a fire on a chilly night while drinking red wine and cozying up with a blanket...







Of course another great thing about changing seasons is changing your wardrobe. By Labor Day I am so sick of wearing the same long dresses and sandals, I can't wait to pack them all away and say c'est la vie till next Summer.
I'm ready to break out a chunky knit scarf, jeans and my Frye boots!








Easy Homemade Hot Chocolate
Add 2 cups of milk and 2 cups of half-and-half to a small saucepan.
Warm the milk mixture over medium-low heat, then add a cup of good semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Stir it around, making sure it doesn’t get too hot.
If it’s too chocolatey for you, splash in 1/2 cup to a cup more milk. If it’s not quite sweet enough for you, add about 1 teaspoon of sugar and even a little vanilla extract.
Top with lots of yummy whip cream!




enjoy!
